A photographer captures the ethereal beauty of formal gardens

Is the heat on the street too much for you? Step inside the Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York's Chelsea art district, and you can almost feel a cooling breeze wafting through shade trees, thanks to a new show of photographs depicting some of the world's most famous gardens. Lynn Geesaman's large-scale color photos of these lush landscapes have a dreamy, Alice-in-Wonderland beauty. And while the Minneapolis-based former physicist shoots with a Hasselblad, there's nothing old-school about her images. They're a little bit eerie and altogether magical.
